My First goal

I hit my first goal of 399. Was not by Monday cause they changed my date anyway.  I am shooting for 9 more lbs before my surg next Friday. For a total of 45 lost pre op. Then I will be 150 from my goal of 240.

The Last time I was at 399 was Aug 21, 2006, then on Aug 22 my mom passed while in recovery after a heart transplant. She never woke up.  I was doing my version of Atkins then, working out 6 times a week all that went out the window.  

I went from over eating to not eating/not eating right.

I've shed all my depression weight.  You can't diet and morn at the same time.  I'd sit on my gym everyday with a bottle of Jack. Had to close my business, couldn't deal with that stress too, I had a bottle of Jack at my shop, lol if someone walked in i put this small lamp shade on it.  

 I put all my guns in the pawn shop so I wouldn't do anything stupid.

I'm head strong now. My depression is not that bad now. Trips to the beach and a ride in a fast ass car with a nice lopey cam fixes that. Drive it like its stolen.  

thanks for reading...    Have a kick ass day!!!!

great work hitting your fist goal!  after the WLS, you will find that with the proper dilligence and hard work, the weight will melt away.

Way to go kid!!!! You're winnin this battle and I'm sure your Mom is smiling down on you!!!! Keep up the great job!!!

no offense but If I wanted sympathy about my mom I would have posted a sob story on the women's forums...

Good job on the pre wls weight loss. I am glad my surgeon didnt require a loss before my surgery. Not sure if I could have done it.....

I went through a bought of depression and drinking when my dad passed also. It sucks but we get better and move on. There is nothing like some time at the beach to make me feel better. But I live in oregon and we dont see the sun much here. As for the car I'll have to take your word on that.....lol

Congrats and good luck with your surgery.

Yea It sucks but we get away alot with the wifes job. Went to Hawaii six times last year so its all good. Were from AZ, moved here 9 years ago so I think I'am finally starting to miss the warmer weather.

Derrick

LOL you got me.. Mister Hawaii Five-o turn the knife a little deeper... Is she hiring?  I spent 6 months in the UK in 05 so I know what raining, gloomy and no sun is..  Then when you see sun for an hour  its like damn finally..

Yea its been raining and snowing here since about last september so I need some sun.... The summers here are just kick ass though!! Too bad they only last like two mounths. Yea theres a lot of sights to enjoy on the beach in HI. I didnt know asses could get that tan untill my first visit.....lol

Great job.  I need a fast car.  driving an SUV.
Looking forward to throwing stuff at ya post op
good luck
